Question

List The Properties Of Electric Lines Of Force.

Answer 1

Answer:

The properties of electric lines of force are:

i)

Lines of force start from positive charge and terminate at negative charge.

ii) Lines of force never intersect.

iii) The tangent to a line of force at any point gives the direction of the electric field at that point.

iv) The number of lines per unit area, through a plane at right angles to the lines is proportional to the magnitude of E. That is, when the lines of force are close together, E is large and where they are far apart, E is small.

v) Each unit positive charge gives rise to 1/epsilon knot lines of force in free space
